Frank, this is one good collection (under 'detail'). Some people isolated
the details themselves, others have been drowned in big folders now.

A pattern catalogue would work from large to small. Because there are so
many examples, a hierarchy and some way for people to mail in new ones would
be nice.

3) Where are good places to read up on/research good building techniques?

About a year ago I imagined a catalogue of frequently used building ideas,
inspired by C. Alexander's "A Pattern Language".
http://news.lugnet.com/build/?n=7353

But right now, the best thing you can probably do is look at a lot of
official Lego instructions in the Lugnet set guide (brickshelf actually).


Ahh, too bad you didn't roll with the idea then, then it'd be all ready for
me now ;)  I had thought of compiling pictures from Lego instructions, but
that big ole problem of Time hits.  Maybe one day I'll be able to!  Between
40 hours of work (well, I never QUITE get in 40 hours, but that's ok) and 9
hours of school (plus more hours of homework) a week, and at LEAST 60 hours
of sleep a week, there just isn't much time left :)

While I can't keep it up to date, I actually do have a good start at
such a reference. See this page:
http://www.mindspring.com/~ffilz/Lego/castle-details.html for example. I
have made some effort to index pictures from MOCs which include
interesting details.

I would love to find a way to split this indexing task up so that a
complete index could be made. An easy start would be for folks to try
and document their own tricks. When posting a new creation, think about
creating a page which collects pictures which illustrate interesting
details or construction methods.

Another way is for folks to ask for ideas with some problem, and then
watch the responses and index the pages referenced.
